Everyone loves potato chips, and rightfully so—there’s something so nostalgic about their salty crunch. They’re not the healthiest of snacks, though, if we’re being honest. Most of the time they’re deep-fried in oil which creates transfats that when consumed often, can lead to health issues. While you can certainly still enjoy potato chips once in a while, for daily snacking there is a better option. Baked kale chips are a crispy and tasty DIY snack that you can customize with any seasonings you like. We love this garlicky cheesy recipe for munching and snacking on all day long.
Ingredients:
- 1 large bunch of kale
- 1 tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon of garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon of nutritional yeast
- Pinch (about ¼ teaspoon) of salt
Instructions:
- Preheat oven to 225 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Cover a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
- Tear kale into bite-sized pieces, removing thick stems. Rinse pieces and pat them dry with a paper towel – make sure no water remains.
- Add kale to a large bowl and drizzle with olive oil.
- Sprinkle seasonings onto kale and mix thoroughly to make sure leaves are evenly coated.
- Spread seasoned kale over the baking sheet, ensuring that pieces are not too close together. If there isn’t enough room, bake in two batches or use a second sheet.
- Bake for 15 minutes, turn the sheet to ensure even baking and return to bake for 10 more minutes.
- Remove and let cool for about 10 minutes, enjoy!
